Woodpeckers Phishing Email?

[4nthony]

Did anyone else receive this email from Ashley at Woodpeckers? Seems suspicious. Maybe she clicked a link which allowed someone to spam/phish on her behalf?

It appears like maybe it originated from Woodpeckers but the reply-to is a gmail address. It's also been a while since I made a purchase from WP. No way I'm clicking the link in the email.

Hey @jeffinsgf do you know an Ashley Jude?

Just the syntax of the message alone screams spam, if you hover the mouse over the link above the initial "Hi" what does it show as the actual URL?

Good catch … bye bye Ash!

@MacBoy That's some mighty fine and serious brows on your pooch! ;-)

I followed the link from a different machine & browser. Total scam. "...sign in using your email account credentials to view it."

Ashley probably gave them her Woodpeckers credentials?

The trick with these emails if they look like they might possibly be legit, is to just hover the mouse (don't click) over the links and in the bottom left of the browser it will show the real destination URL, which is usually something very obviously fake.

I received a similar email but from Steven Gaspar. Purportedly blind copied to me by mistake but also supposedly providing a link to Dropbox.

Also reply to ajclarke…

Seemed phishey to me so I just trashed it.

LOL — our daughter got bored one day with her pencil eyeliner. She did both dogs! Ha ha ha

Sorry for those, guys. Ashley and Steven are in our Customer Service department. They got hacked yesterday. Pretty much everyone in the building got the same message. IT caught it quickly and dealt with it. Shouldn't see any more.

Well I'm usually pretty good about catching this spam but I had just got off the phone talking to a WP rep about a dimension on a tool and not 20 minutes later I get the email about the PDF. I clicked it and it took me to a page that had errors opening. Never had to give any info - hopefully all is fine.
